Celebrating all the yummy goodness of Ghana: its people, its culture and its [far reaching] influences

Accra is voted the 4th must visit city in 2013 by the New York Times…..

“Accra, the capital of Ghana, has welcomed business travellers
for years. Now tourists are streaming in, a byproduct of the fact that the
country has Africa’s fastest-growing economy and is also one of its safest
destinations. The Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel (with poolside bar and waiters on
roller skates) opened in 2011, and the Marriott Accra — the chain’s first
sub-Saharan offering — will feature a casino and upscale shopping when it opens
in the spring. On Accra’s packed beaches, you’ll see everything from snake
handlers to plantain peddlers. Head to the upscale neighborhood of Osu and hit
the treehouse-inspired terrace at Buka for fine West African food. The best
Ghanaian adventures start with a giant plate of tomato-smothered tilapia and
banku — a fermented yeast paste that’s tastier than it sounds — washed down
with local Star beer. "— Karen Leigh

Paulina Opoku-Gyimah says:Honestly, whatever the New York Times says –goes!!! Their word is gospel
–and Ghana Rising is beyond pleased…. Accra
is described as a, “A buzzing metropolis ready for business, and pleasure” –and
we totally agree…….
